Issue Getting LG TinyMCE 1.3.2 to Work in EE 1.6.4

Hey, I ran into the exact same issue. Did you ever fix this? An upgrade of EE maybe? 😉

I just tried doing a completely fresh install of EE 1.6.6 and a fresh install of the LG TinyMCE 1.3.2 extension plus TinyMCE 3.2.1.1 and I’m getting the same results.

For some odd reason the functionality is not appearing within the “body” field of any edit screen yet that one field has the WYSIWYG applied to it.

Is there some other setting that I’m missing?

Here’s a screenshot of my “EditField” screen…

Hm, thanks for trying that. I haven’t been able to get around to doing an upgrade yet myself.

I’m horrible at troubleshooting JS issues but sounds like some sort of conflict. You might have to contact LG for this. If you disable the extension the problem will go away. Personally, I think I’m just going to eject the extension for this particular project.

This is most likely a js issue.

Can you check the source code of the textarea and see what class name it has applied to it. It should be something like “lg_tinymce”

Hi Leevi, thanks for replying. I went into the edit screen and I’ve copied into this email a small chunk of the source code that you are referring to…

It looks like it is being referred to but it still is not appearing within the interface.

Any thoughts?

Leevi, it’s actually different for me. The WYSIWYG works in FF but not IE.

I don’t think the issue I’m having is browser dependent. It’s not showing up for me in IE6, IE7, or FF3 on the PC and not showing up in FF3 or Safari3 on the Mac.

FWIW, this is happening to me as well. I’ve got a fairly fresh install of EE 1.6.6, and I just installed LG TinyMCE 1.3.2 and TinyMCE 3.2.1.1. I’ve set up a custom field of “WYSIWYG” type, similar to Daron’s screenshot, but when I go to the actual “Publish” form, I just get a standard textarea with none of the TinyMCE controls.

I’ve tried it in Firefox 3 and Safari 3, to no avail.

The other TinyMCE extension authored by Paul Burdick did work instantly for me.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have all the other features that Leevi’s has like the ability to use the Compressor, targeting specific fields within the edit window…and I believe a hook into Moxie’s MCImageManager….so I wish I could get the LG TinyMCE Custom field extension to work.

Does anyone else have any ideas for resolving this…or ideas for how to get some of these other features to work with TinyMCE?

Daron,

I too have the same issue - I’m running EE 1.6.4 and v.1.3.2. It loads perfectly in Safari and FF on my Mac, on my PC is loads in FF, but in IE7 it does not. I have also applied the WYSIWYG type to custom fields and still no luck 😖

Ideas? suggestions?

Are you guys using mod_rewrite?

If so it will be because you haven’t added the exclusion to the .htaccess file

Add the name of the folder tinymce is in i.e. scripts

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|scripts|js|system|themes|index\.php|admin\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

it took me a while to find it

I’ve just found out that a client using a Mac can’t see TinyMCE either in any browser. It’s fine in every browser I check in on Windows. I’m using EE 1.6.7, LG TinyMCE (v.1.3.3) and TinyMCE 3.2.0.1.

I tried the .htaccess modification that Dave suggested but there’s no change.

I just had this problem and managed to fix it. I believe that the problem is something to do with caching of the TinyMCE script. I know from working with TinyMCE within my own CMS it was caching its config settings somewhere.

Try clearing your cache and loading the publish screen again.

I’m new to EE so I might be wrong on this but as soon as I did that the TinyMCE editor loaded as it should.

Now I’ve got a problem with the image manager though :(

Has anyone figured this out? I’m having the same problem. Uploaded the extensions, languages, TinyMCE scripts, changed the field type to WYSIWYG, and I go back to my publish page and it just shows up as a plain text area.

Been trying to get it to work for almost 2 hours now. I uploaded the TinyMCE First Party Extension from Paul Burdick and it works right off the bat.

I’m using: EE v1.6.7 LG_TinyMCE 1.3.3

I’ve cleared my Control Panel Cache multiple times and nothing ever changes.

When I view the source code on the publish page, the text area I applied WYSIWYG to is getting a class of ‘lg_mceEditor’. I assume that’s correct, so I’m really not sure why the TinyMCE controls are not showing up? The only thing I can think of is an inproper path to the tiny_mce.js file.

On the initial install it shows “/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js”. Does that start on the root directory of your site as it shows in the general configuration settings? (ie: http://localhost/folder/)
